It does seem that the audience tends to like popular pieces or unique pieces like Anime Medley, Tinsagunu no hana, Prince of Egypt and In the Mood.
I guess its always such a case. Very often the player's favourite song is not the audience's favorite. Or is it due to the immaturity of the Singapore audience with regards to classical music?
Hmm...
